The subjoinerl string of gems appeared lecenlly in an an- 

 onymous book, entitled, ' Tlie Tin Trumpet, or H^ada and 

 Tales.' Froift internal evidence we pronounce it to be the 

 work of Horace Smith. Its resemhlance to that writer's 

 exquisite Hymn to the Flowers, is sufficient to sulistaniiate its 

 claim to the same paternity. — Boston Courier. 



MUSINGS IN THE TEMPLE OF NATURE. 

 Man can build nothing worthy of his Maker: 



From royal Solomon's stupendous fane, 

 Down to the humble chapel of the Quaker, 

 All, all are vain! 



The wondrous world which He himself created. 



Is the fit temple of creation's Lord ; 

 There may his worship best be celebrated. 

 And praises poured! 



Its altar — earth; its roof, the sky imtainted; 



Sun, moon, and stars, the lamps that gave it light. 

 And clouds, by the celestial artists painted. 

 Its pictures bright. 



Its choir, all vocal things, whose glad devotion. 



In one united hymn is heavenward sped. 

 The thunder-peal, the winds, the deep-mouthed ocean, 

 Its organ dread. 



The face of Nature, its God-ivrilten bible, 



Which all mankind may study and explore, 

 While none can wrest, interpolate, or libel 

 Its loving lore. 



Hence learn we that our Maker, whose affection 



Knows no distinction — suffers no recall, 

 Sheds his impartial favor and protection 

 Alike on all. 



Thus by divine example do we gather. 



That every race should love alike all others, 

 Christian, Jew, Pagan — chihircn of one Fathei% 

 All, all are brothers. 



Conscience, heaven's silent oracle, the assessor 

 Of right and wrong in every human breast, 

 Sleridy condemns Ih' impenitent transgressor 

 Tq live unblesl, 



'I'he pious and the virtuous, tho' assaulted. 



By fortune's frown, or man's unjust decrees, 

 Still in their bosoms find a pure, exalted. 

 Unfailing peace. 



Hence do we learn that hardened vice is hateful. 



Since Heaven pursues it with avenging rod. 

 While goodness, self-rewarded, must.be grateful 

 To man apd God. 



G thou iiiosl visible but unseen teacher, 



Whose finger writes its lessons on our sphere! 



thou most audible, but unheard preacher! 



Whoso sermons clear — 



Are seen and read in all that thou performest, — 



Wilt thou look down and bless, if, when I kneel, 

 Apart from man-built fanes, I fell tho warmest 

 And purest 7.eal! 



If in the temple thine own hand hath fashioned, 

 'Neath the bright sky, by lojiely stream or wood, 



1 pour to thee, with thrilling heart empassioncd, 



My gratitude; 



If in Ihy present miracles terrestrial 



Mine eyes behold, wherever I have kneeled, 

 ?^ew proofs of the futurity celestial 



To man revealed ; ^ 



If, fearing Thee, I love thy whole creation. 



Keeping my bosom undcliled by guilt, 

 Wilt thou receive and 1 le?3 mine adoration 1 

 Thou wilt! Thou will! 



Pat PLATl^(; the Yankee. — Not iii.iiiy months 

 since, a gpneral miKstiT of militia and regulars was 

 called Wy tlie Governor in Lower Canada, near the 

 town of HaHfa.\. His Excellency called together 

 the officers who coiiiriianded the " regidars," told 

 them to prepare for a tine day's sport; ihat he had 

 ordered a troop ol niilitia, (fifty men) composed of 

 Irishmen, to play the " Ynnki-e " at a sham fight in 

 the afternoon ; and tliat " His Majesty's regulars" 

 would have fine sport transferring "the Irish Yan- 

 kees," (ill the character of prisoners of war,) from 

 the field of Iiattle into a neighboring log-house, 

 whicli was converted for the time being into a 

 guard-house. 



The I'ats, commanded by a truly original char- 

 acter by tlie name of John Morris, issued forth at 

 the aj;pointed time and formed themselves into 

 line two deep on an elevated spot near the town : 

 their valiant leader at the same time, exhorted 

 them to stand firm and mind his orders, and play 

 the game as " real Yankees sliould," and even to 

 give the " Lobsters " a taste of cold steel rather 

 than submit to become prisoners. 



The "regulars" consisting of 200 men formed 

 some 300 feet from the sham Yankees, and com- 

 menced a regular peppering of musketry, which 

 was returned with promptitude by the Pats. At 

 this stage of the action, the " regulars " were ob- 

 served to extend their line in order to surround 

 the enemy; but our hero xMorris ordered to 

 " Charge bayontls" without any particular injunc- 

 tion not to hurt the foe. His M.njesty's regulars 

 thought the most prudent course was to give them 

 " leg bail " for their valor, by performing a retro- 

 grade movement at a brisk trot. But Morris was 

 not to bo cheated in tiiis manner : he pursued the 

 reti'eating redcoats, and «ould not resist the temp, 

 tation of repeatedly vociferating " Hurra for Jack- 

 son;" until he sticoeoded in taking fifty jirisoners, 

 among whom was His Excellency, who rangoin- 

 ed hitiiself and his fellow prisoners, by paying for 

 a diniier, of which 200 Pats partook in honor of 

 the Victory. It is but fair to say they conducted 

 their prisoners into town playing alterniUely '' Yan- 

 kee Doodle," and the souUstirring air of "Garry 

 Owen," 



Sa\thnmts, — Agriculture is tlie nursery of pa- 

 triotism. 



A wise government will not be slow in foster- 

 ing the agricultural interest. 



Let every farmer who has a son to etlucate, be- 

 lieve and remember, that science lays the founda- 

 tion of every thing valuable in agriculture. 



Science must combine with practice to make a 

 good farmer, 



Tho opposition against book farming rests on 

 the shoulders of two monsters, ignorance and pre- 

 judice, 



if you separate science from Agricu'tiire, you 

 rob a nation of its prii;cli al jewel.—- Maine Far- 

 mer. 



'1 he population of Paris has (quadrupled since 

 the reign of Louis XIH. Land which was then 

 worth 200 fl-ancs the acre, is now 1000 francs the 

 vard.
